Open minds olathe south

Its a good book. i selected a snippet to expand on and discuss
"The first thing that enforces the gulf between us is the fact that they communicate mind to mind while we use physical voice. The second is that they are active in both the physical and nonphysical realms of reality, while in our species, communication is physical and contact with the nonphysical - and even its existence - is an open question.
Because they have a joined mind, inevitably they are going to be less developed as individuals than we are. We have many bodies, many minds, but if I am right, they are many bodies, one mind."
this is getting at the both/and nature of the phenomenon. it is both nuts n' bolts and woo. not eitheor.
humanity also is of one mind, but people don't realize it. we are a both/and. we are both separate minds and one mind, and so when someone who thinks their mind is entirely separate has a UAP experience that takes their mind out of their skull it can be ontologically shocking.

Hey, everyone! My name is Justin Goff, and in this video, I'll tell you about three little-known traffic sources that will get you money-minded people on your list, which is exactly what you want. You want people to buy things from you, so we'll talk about an old-school traffic source that sent me 100 to 120 buyers a day for free. This one is really, really, really cool. This is something you guys will like. Second, how to get leads and customers from your competitors in a legal way. Last but not least, explain how to copy your leads to a second email list so you can make twice as much money on the thank-you page.
I call this "list splintering: all the biggest direct response." People do this, and I'll show you how to do it too. So let's get started. First, find a way to get wealthy people to sign up for your mailing list. This is a very old way to get traffic information, and it's radio, which means it's from 2015. I took a supplement called Patriot Power Greens.
We tried advertising on the radio because it was selling like crazy. So, we bought a 60-second spot on The Rush Limbaugh Show. People who bought from us were similar to those who bought from him: conservative and in their 60s to 70s. So we purchased a 60-second spot on the show and directed them to a long-form sales page that was free but required shipping. This one is different. We were using the same page for email, traffic, and Facebook ads. In essence, a free offer
Survival Affiliate List Building Pack v2 Local
Shipping costs them $4.95. We gave them a small sample of our greens powder, and then the upsells on that offer got them to buy full bottles of the supplement at full price, which worked really, really well. So, that was the deal we were making at the moment. I want to show you the ad we ran, which is really cool, huh?
What makes this ad funny? We had to send them this ad right away, so we didn't have time to get a voice-over person. Instead, I just recorded it myself on my MacBook. I didn't have headphones on at the time, so I doubt I had a microphone. I didn't have a studio. I just recorded it, and you can tell by the sound that it's not great. What's interesting, though, is that it sounds like it's been crushed, so I'll play it for you.
So now you have an idea of what that radio ad sounded like: Something shocking just happened in a coast guard unit in San Diego; the old guys in the unit have turned the tables and are now beating the young bucks in head-to-head fitness tests. How could this even be? It turns out that the old guys in this unit were part of a special test group for a drink called Patriot Power Greens that was made by a doctor to be a fountain of youth. Many of the older soldiers' aching joints, stiff muscles, and lack of energy have gone away since they started taking Patriot Power Greens. Before, only elite military units could get this drink. But for a limited time, you can try Patriot Power Greens for free. All we ask is that you chip in a few dollars to help pay for shipping, but you have to act quickly because there is a lot of demand from Coast Guard members. We have almost nothing left.

Get your free samples of Patriot Powered Greens right now. Go to greens123.com; that's greens123.com. That's the whole ad, and as you can see, the quality is not very good, as I said. There are pops and echoes, and the volume changes all the way through.
It's not good at all, but what I want to tell you about is that ad, which did really well for us on the radio, and not just on the radio. The radio is really cool, but I want to show you how we got it to where we didn't even have to buy ad space for that ad to run. So, basically, we started out by paying remnant rates, which are the rates that the ad reps at the radio station use to sell all of their extra ad space. They sell it to you at the remnant price, which is the cheapest price. You can get it, uh.
So we started by paying remnant rates and putting our ads wherever there was space. If we ran, we'd get 100 to 120 buyers. What's really cool is this: Once we knew the ad was working, we made a deal with the ad rep that if they ever had open inventory—which happened a lot—we would buy it from them.
Survival Affiliate List Building Pack v2 OTO AIUpsell
As an affiliate, they could just run our ad, and we would pay them $40 for every sale. So, instead of paying for ad space, we got our ad played on the radio station for free, and every time it did, we got between 100 and 120 new buyers. Every single time, so, yeah, whenever there was an empty spot at this station, they didn't know what to do. They'd just put our ad in, and we'd pay them per sale. We both made money, so it was a win-win situation.

Hello all,
I’ve had some pretty bad spiritual experiences lately with feeling my heart harden multiple times. I don’t feel any remorse, fear, love, or really anything in my heart at all for people or the Lord. I’ve felt cut off multiple times before, I’ve been warned a lot before too. I want to enter the Lords rest and I want to repent but it seems like I can’t - my mind feels full of death and stagnant. Any advice? I have ignored God in the past… I feel like I’ve had an unbelieving heart for awhile now. I want to have an open believing heart because I know how important it is to follow Jesus. Advice?

I bought an electro accoustic guitar which arrived damaged, once I opened it there was something moving inside which I then reported to the buyer. He thinks I damaged it even though from the time I opened it , and then reporting the issue makes no sense. He thinks I changed my mind about the guitar, which isn't true but then makes no sense me damaging it. However, to understand why beforehand I need to clarify a few things for transparency.
After winning the auction, I thought the seller made a mistake in listing the guitar. Harley Benson make two versions of the guitar. One acoustic and one electro. Now, this is my fault, I messaged him saying he listed the wrong model, as googling and going to the website the electric should have an eq panel with tuner, and on the bottom, there should be an input for the jack. We go back and forth, he states it's electro and I asked for evidence which he evades until finally, he shows me a photo. I apologize for the error and explain why as there are no photos or descriptions of that version of guitar googling. You can't find it at all , as it looked like the acoustic version
Anyway, fast forward, I send the guitar back in the exact packaging and box. It arrives and he then blames me for poor packaging even though I said to him its the same material you used to send it in. Now he's threatening to call the police, and start legal action. I'm not worried about the police, as I have the messages explaining everything, and photos and videos but worried about legal action. Even though I have done nothing wrong
I have photos and videos of the issue, but I'm worried because he's so crazy. it's the first time I experienced something like this on ebay.

I’ll cut straight to my dilemma. I matched with a guy (Sean) on Bumble late last year. We went on a few dates and I didn’t feel a spark so ended things. I wanted to stayed in touch as we have similar interests and got along well.
Over the last few months we’ve gotten closer and I’ve I realised I was too hasty in calling it off initially (I found him attractive, he treated me really well I just didn’t feel the elusive spark). The closer we got the more my feelings intensified.
The problem is he has feelings for another girl. Nothing happened between them, they're in the same sports club and became friends. He told her how he felt but she didn’t feel the same way. Sean felt led on by her and she’s now seeing another guy from the same sports club which has been difficult for him.
Sean has been talking to me about all of this and at first I didn’t mind as we were just friends and I swapped my dating stories with him too. I recently told him how I felt as I wanted to be honest (although maybe that was selfish of me to unload my feelings onto him while he’s into someone else and trying to process that).
I was beyond happy when Sean told me he had feelings for me too but that it wouldn’t be fair on me if he dated me straight away while being into someone else. He said he’d want to give me his full attention and maybe in a few months we could explore dating again.
I appreciated his honesty and said we can stay friends and see how things go. We still chat every day about our shared interests and shared humour so the lines of communication are open.
My problem is I’m still on the dating apps and went on a first date with a guy called Tom recently after telling Sean how I felt. I thought dating might be a good idea to give me some perspective and not sit around waiting for Sean / putting more pressure on that situation.
I enjoyed my first date with Tom and would like to see him again but my feelings for Sean are still really strong. I can’t help but feel guilty and like I’m doing something wrong by dating when I already have feelings for someone else. I don’t want to lead anyone on.
Do I date casually and see where things go with potential matches? Or should I wait around for Sean to get over the girl he was into?
This is a tale as old as time. Single for years with no crushes or connections and then one comes along and it's bad timing.

Hello, so I'm aromantic in that I don't feel romantic feelings for anyone at all. I'm not sure the specific label, I'm not asexual, in fact I have a long term friend who I'm sexually active with. We met a long time ago on a forum he modded and I chatted with him a lot and we met irl, had a lot of fun, made more plans to meet and eventually he offered for me to be his roommate which I accepted and he came out to me as gay which was cool with me I'm sexually bi and honestly I already kinda knew from stereotypical cues and we started having a casual sexual relationship. He's been a good and bad friend both but that's over a period of like 12 maybe 13 years.
We've moved apart a couple times but eventually we end up back living together somewhere else and now I live with him on his family farm he's set to inherit and he's invited me to make my own life here too if I wanted. He knows I'm aro, we've talked a couple times while I was more open and intoxicated how I don't think I'm going to ever find someone else because I don't seek out relationships which is kinda step one and he's much more online active in lgbtq circles so he was well aware what aromantic was.
Thing is, he's in love with me regardless. I'm glad to make him happy but I've always felt a little guilty he does things for me out of love and I just don't feel it. I like him, he's my best friend, annoying sometimes when he gets cuddly and I'm extra not in that mood. I'm sometimes receptive for his needs, but I honestly hate romantic contact like cuddling and kissing.
Well the point of all this is he proposed to me. Rings for us both and everything. A little shocking but I talked about it a bit with him and he said he doesn't have plans for a marriage if that makes me uncomfortable, which it does ngl, but he wanted to sort of "claim" me so he knew for sure if I wanted to have our arrangement a lifetime type of thing.
I agreed. I mean it's been over a decade and we've almost exclusively hung out with each other, he does take care of my sexual needs, and we've learned a lot over the years that would almost seem a waste if we stopped cohabitating, but there's still that guilt knowing again he has feelings I can only pretend to have for him time to time to make him feel loved and it feels fake. Is that just what it feels like when an aro is in a relationship? He's told me he thinks I'm valid as is and loves me regardless, but can that actually work out? I'm confused and afraid I've made a mistake or worse set my friend up to be disappointed. I feel like he thinks one day I'm going to be someone I'm not but maybe I'm just being too hard on myself and I can be loved by someone without feeling the butterflies or whatever people in love feel back? I do like his company and he really has been there for me a lot. He's helped me through some major formative life moments, got me a good job, and through a tough injury I got that took a lot of time to recover from and required a lot of care and time from him.
We sleep in separate rooms so I'm glad to have my own space and we have our own hobbies we do around the farm, he does a lot of earthworks and I garden and keep a pond. He knows my faults and weaknesses, he's helped me with an anger issue I had even though I've taken it out on him a few times when we were younger, and I don't mind his issues, we can ignore the specifics.
I guess I'm looking for advice. Am I wrong to have accepted his ring knowing I'll probably never love him like he wants? He does seem honestly okay loving me as is, but maybe the engagement thing is a little too heteronormative and something he felt he had to do to keep me around? I think I might have spooked him, at 30 I applied and got accepted into college which is kinda unlike me? It was spontaneous and I only updated him on the big milestones and I think that's what prompted the proposal.

I got bit by the sailing bug at a late age, the half century mark. I took the ASA 101, and I’ll go back for the 103/104 in just a couple months. I’ve quietly lurked here and I’ve seen a pretty high prevalence of people getting starter-boats and upgrading later. I’m basically looking at a 30-35’ high performance cruiser.
We’re moving the family to the water, eventually, we’ll have our own dock on the property for sure, though right now we are only 35-45 minutes from the nearest marinas on the Chesapeake. However, that move may not happen for a couple years when the real estate market settles down some.
I would be buying something new or only a few years old. I could/would spend $200k, I would put 30k down and finance, or I pay cash. If I pay cash I’d have to liquidate investment assets and with the market as it is, I’m not feeling like that’s a great idea At the moment. I’d rather finance with no early payment penalty and see how the market settles in the next couple years, then pay it off.
I’m really stuck on this decision. I saw a beautiful mini-12 meter, all wood, no motor, simple as can be, trailerable and easily taken to the closest slip and stored at home, for about $20k. Something like that would be really cool, but it wouldn’t be the “full” experience I truly want for me or my family. We could day-sail, but I feel like it would be mostly for me. I also saw the exact boat I want, in my budget. That would open up the possibility for overnight adventures, long weekend trips, bringing our friends aboard. Of course in the back of my mind is a lingering fear: what if I make a bold move and then later feel like I’m not into it.
I’d love to hear from those of you that decided to go big and it all worked out, as I imagine the folks it didn’t work out for are not on the sub anymore. Did anybody have an upgrade phase and it was a good thing for you ?
TLDR: first boat, buy a little one or a big one?

We have arrived here at the non-English language tournament, FG. This will be a long tournament, as we had nearly 300 movies nominated from all over the world (though as to be expected from the history of cinema the most nominated countries were France, Italy, and Japan), so this will take us over the next few months. As always, the polls will last for one day, so get your votes in and come back tomorrow for the results and the next battle.

View Poll

I'm on my third replay and have noticed myself putting much more thought into Arthur's looks. I like using his outfits, hair, and beard to express where he's at in the plot. So in Chapter 2, he's mostly sticking to simple outfits and doesn't purchase any clothing. He gets a clean shave at the Valentine barber early on but doesn't really bother shaving at camp.
In chapter 3 he feels he has to look respectful to the Rhodes families and he's done some hunting so I like to put together an outfit that has a nice dress shirt and relatively expensive pants, but also one of the vests from the trapper. No Coat because it's warm down south. I also make sure to get a haircut and keep the beard trimmed. I especially like having a relatively short beard in chapter 3 because Arthur's beard grows a lot during the time skip after he escapes from Colm and the contrast kind of underlines how much he's been through. Also gotta make sure to have a suitably silly outfit on hand for the mission that has Hosea disguise you as Fenton.
In Chapter 4 I like to have two outfits on hand, one that Arthur only wears in Saint-Denis, that's very put together and kind of overly fancy because that's what he feels the city expects from him, and a modified version of the same outfit he puts on whenever he gets back into the countryside. The second one's a lot looser, sleeves rolled up, collar open, no coat, and no vest. I really enjoy imagining him stuffing all the unnecessary clothes into the saddlebags at the first opportunity he gets. I also like to give him a handlebar mustache during that chapter.
In Chapter 6 I take him to the tailor one last time after he gets his diagnosis and pick out a simple outfit that's mostly white and grey. Until that point, I feel Arthur doesn't really have time to worry about his clothes so he just wears the outfit he wore on Guarma. I like to put on light gloves because they accentuate the blood during particularly bad coughing fits. For some reason, I also like sticking to the Bison Gambler Hat for that chapter, not sure why, but it's a nice hat.
For the Epilogue, I stick with the premade Rancher outfit for John but also make two Outfits that are just for bounty hunting. They're both very formal, dark blue pants, the Principal Vest, a white French Dress Shirt, a dark dress tie, and a black stalker hat with dark boots, and half-chaps. The only difference between the two is that one comes with a black duster coat that I put on when riding on dusty roads or when it rains. I kind of like the idea that John kinda tries to emulate the Pinkertons for his bounty-hunting outfits because that's what he feels a bounty-hunter should look like. I haven't decided what to wear during American Venom, apart from Arthur's basic hat, so suggestions are welcome :)
Do you have any specific outfits you like to put on to match certain moods, plot points, or specific missions?

I've run some recruiting campaigns recently that target people by job title in a decent size region. My ad creative and copy is good, but for some reason every web visitor I get bounces immediately.
Also, I'm sending people to a landing page with job openings that are directly relevant to both my copy and creative.
With that in mind, where could I going wrong? Is this just the nature of LinkedIn or am I likely making a mistake?

Hey 26m, yes I'm actually an accountant, as an extrovert this now seems like a bad decision. I'm pretty open and don't mind background much as long as you can hold a conversation. We can have a friendly debate, mull over the mysteries of this world. Have a long ass day today so I'll be on here on and off all day.

Title: The Canadian Purge
Logline: In a world where the Canadian government has instituted an annual 24-hour purge to eliminate all pent-up aggression, the citizens face an unexpected dilemma: they're just too polite to commit any crime.
Plot Synopsis: In the near future, Canada is plagued by an epidemic of passive-aggressive behavior. The government, alarmed by this disturbing trend, decides to institute an annual "Canadian Purge" where all crime is legal for 24 hours. The hope is that citizens will use this time to release their pent-up frustrations and emerge as kinder and more harmonious people.
The story follows a quirky ensemble cast of characters who are gearing up for the first-ever Canadian Purge. Among them are Doug, a mild-mannered librarian who vows to finally confront his noisy neighbors; Susan, a yoga instructor determined to steal the last box of maple syrup from her rival's studio; and Bob, a gentle hockey coach who plans to take out his aggression on the rival team's mascot.
As the clock strikes midnight, the Purge begins—but things don't go quite as planned. Instead of unleashing chaos, Canadians find themselves awkwardly apologizing for even the smallest of infractions. Doug, mustering all his courage, knocks on his neighbors' door, only to be greeted with a plate of freshly-baked butter tarts and an invitation to join their knitting circle. Susan sneaks into the rival yoga studio, but upon seeing the peaceful ambiance, she decides to lead a meditation session instead. Bob makes his way to the hockey rink, but when he sees the rival mascot, he ends up giving it a big hug and taking selfies together.
As the Purge continues, hilarity ensues as Canadians struggle to be mean to one another but ultimately fail, leading to heartwarming and comedic moments of friendship and reconciliation. By the end of the Purge, the government is baffled by the lack of criminal activity and decides to cancel future Purges. Instead, they declare a national "Kindness Day," where everyone is encouraged to perform acts of kindness and apologize for any past wrongdoings.
The film concludes with the characters coming together for a group hug, proving that even in the face of a government-sanctioned Purge, Canadians just can't help but be polite and kind to one another. The credits roll as the characters dance to a peppy rendition of "O Canada," complete with apologies for stepping on each other's toes.
"The Canadian Purge" is a lighthearted comedy that celebrates the quirks and warmth of Canadian culture while offering a humorous take on the concept of the Purge. With its clever mix of satire and heart, it's a film that's sure to leave audiences both laughing and feeling good about the world.
up-and-coming actors who would be great fits for the characters in "The Canadian Purge" while keeping within the constraints of a low budget production:
Doug (The Mild-Mannered Librarian) Actor: Andrew Phung Character Description: Doug is a soft-spoken and timid librarian who struggles with asserting himself. On the day of the Canadian Purge, he decides to confront his noisy neighbors, but his inherent politeness keeps getting in the way.
Susan (The Determined Yoga Instructor) Actor: Aurora Browne Character Description: Susan is a passionate and competitive yoga instructor who takes her craft very seriously. Her mission during the Purge is to steal the last box of maple syrup from her rival's studio, but she finds herself conflicted when faced with the opportunity to show kindness instead.
Bob (The Gentle Hockey Coach) Actor: Daniel Maslany Character Description: Bob is a beloved hockey coach known for his good humor and kind-hearted nature. On the day of the Purge, he plans to unleash his aggression on the rival team's mascot but ends up befriending it instead.
Linda (The Feisty Senior Citizen) Actor: Jayne Eastwood Character Description: Linda is a spirited senior citizen with a no-nonsense attitude. She's determined to use the Purge to settle some old scores, but her plans take an unexpected turn when she meets a group of youngsters who need her guidance.
Steve (The Overly Apologetic Police Officer) Actor: Kevin Vidal Character Description: Steve is a police officer who's notorious for apologizing even when he's not at fault. On the day of the Purge, he's conflicted about whether to enforce the law or take advantage of the chaos to let loose. Hilarity ensues as he struggles to make up his mind.
Isabelle (The Friendly Neighbor) Actor: Emma Hunter Character Description: Isabelle is Doug's kind and cheerful neighbor who loves to bake and knit. When Doug comes to confront her about the noise during the Purge, she welcomes him with open arms and invites him to join her knitting circle.
These actors were chosen for their comedic talents and potential to bring the characters to life while keeping in mind the budget constraints of an independent film. While they may not be as widely recognized as A-list actors, they are well-regarded within the comedy and entertainment industry and have the potential to deliver standout performances in "The Canadian Purge."
Post-Credit Scene:
As the credits for "The Canadian Purge" roll, we see the characters celebrating the newly-declared "Kindness Day" in a local park. The atmosphere is jovial and filled with laughter, music, and dancing. The screen fades to black as the credits come to an end.
Suddenly, we cut to a dimly-lit room, where a group of stern-faced Norwegian government officials is seated around a conference table. The room is silent except for the sound of a projector displaying news clips of the successful "Canadian Purge" and subsequent "Kindness Day."
One official, Minister Hansen, clears his throat and addresses the room. "Ladies and gentlemen, it appears that our friends in Canada have found a creative solution to the problem of passive aggression," he says with a hint of amusement. "Perhaps it's time we take a page from their playbook."
The officials nod in agreement, and one of them, Minister Berg, chimes in, "Indeed, Minister Hansen. But we Norwegians have our own unique quirks. If we're to have a Purge, it must be done the Norwegian way."
The others murmur in agreement as Minister Hansen leans forward and presses a button on the projector remote. The screen changes to display a new title: "Project Norsk Utblåsning" (Norwegian Venting).
The camera zooms in on the title as dramatic music begins to play. Minister Hansen smirks and says, "Let the planning begin."
The screen cuts to black, and the words "Coming Soon: The Norwegian Purge" appears.

I’m an 18 year old living in the UK with my parents and younger siblings. We have lived in our house for the past 7 years and have had the same neighbours for all of that time. There was two brothers both in their 30’s and 40’s and their mother who recently passed in 2020. The eldest of the siblings has always suffered from schizophrenia and on occasions would become violent when having an episode, the first i saw of this was when he slashed up his house with a samurai sword however his mother was alive at that point to calm him down when that happened. He has been sectioned many times since then but as soon as he goes into a facility he starts acting normal to get released. He is heavily religious and his schizophrenia plays on that (the devil runs the world, he believes he’s here to save us all and that he’s an angel, the government are going to kill him because he tells the truth, we’re all clones). The most recent incident was a lot worse for whatever reason, he smashed up his house again worse than ever, breaking all the windows in the house, putting holes through doors and smashing up the glass oven (bare in mind it’s a council home and the siblings are both trying to be relocated so he’s damaging property he doesn’t own) but he would never touch his brother or dead mothers belongings. When that incident happened the police arrested him and took him to the hospital to treat his injury’s from the broken windows but he escaped and went back home. The police and ambulance turned up to talk to him the following day but just left him there alone. The other day he tried burning stuff over an open fire inside the house which was enough for my mother to call the firefighters due to our houses being attached to one another meaning if he burns his house down we go with him, police ambulance and firefighters all turned up but again left with no issues. The younger of the siblings had to be hospitalised over having a mental breakdown due to the situation and is on suicide watch now. Me and my family have become increasingly fearful of him as he has tried being aggressive with my stepfather, and is known for sometimes carrying knifes around but whenever we try and call to have him taken away the services do nothing to help. I guess what I’m asking for is advice on how to have him taken away to somewhere that can help him rather than be around people and causing a risk as he is causing my already stressed out mother more stress

My boyfriend told me he has feelings for someone else. Something that is beyond devastating to hear from the person you loved the most. My mind keeps replaying that phrase. I can see the person he fell for and him in my dreams living a life that should have been for me and him.
I guess I dodged a bullet. He’s been cheating on me for a while, and I thought by being patient and loving just maybe he would change and genuinely love me. I felt like an idiot the entire time. It was something I didn’t believe it, yet made an exception for him. He’s the only one. What a backfire that turned into.
I can’t sleep at night. I can’t stop crying; because what was it truly about them that made him dump me and everything we built together? For 8 years I’ve been loyal, patient, and has loved him unconditionally. He knew how it wasn’t easy for me to move on from the first time I found out he was cheating. He promised me that he would change because he cared about me and loved me. I believed him, when I shouldn’t have.
All the memories and things that remind me of him are like daggers that pierce my heart. I feel completely heartbroken, lost, and alone. I’m filled with pain and sorrow, but rage and anger as well. I feel betrayed, lied to, and manipulated. I have given him every opportunity to talk to me, and open up. Many solutions and options to help our relationship, I did everything!
Now, he disgusts me and makes me sick. I can’t speak to him, or look at him. He’s made our living situation beyond sour. I feel like I completely hate him, which is difficult to say; because I was madly in love with him. My heart aches at the thought of him just moving on like I never mattered. I mean 8 years? And you convinced me that you loved me and really cared about me. Yet, you kept secrets, and kept me out of site from inner circle.
How dare he just use me and throw me away. How can you do that to someone you “love?” The person that stole him away from me, I hope will experience the pain I’ve endured. I hope that this all backfires on him, and karma truly teaches them both a lesson.

Hi there,
An unopened, brand new Gen9 Ipad, was wrongly delivered to the store I work. Same adres. I signed. Its been here for weeks. The sender is a tech company. I thought it might be a smartphone. So opened the box.
Sure I could use one. The kid doesn't have one. The company that sent it wrong wont feel it. The recipient probably said they didn't get it.
Should I keep it? Lucky find?
Could they trace the serial if I start using it?
If they say I signed, I will say, I thought it was already picked up, when someone else was working. No camera. But I don't think Apple, the police or anyone will take the time for a wrong delivery like this and simply send over another one.
What would you do?
I plan to wait another 2 weeks. And then give it to my kid.
Change my mind if I should.
